IN WHICH WE REACHED OUR FINAL FRONTIER

I think all this Maiden talk has given me Maiden fatigue. Which kinda sucks, ’cause I love Maiden, but is kinda awesome, ’cause after said fatigue wears off, I’ll pop in The Number of the Beast and rock like a motherfucker. There’s nothing better than re-discovering an old favorite, y’know?

Speaking of Maiden fatigue:

• Vince, Anso, Sammy, Leyla, Bob, and yours truly all reviewed The Final Frontier.
• The Austerity Program’s Justin Foley spoke to legendary Maiden illustrator Derek Riggs.
• Decibel‘s Adrien Begrand interrogated Iron Maiden’s unfortunately named manager, Rod Smallwood.

Also:

• We debuted a new track from Within the Ruins.
• I chatted with Cephalic Carnage’s Len Leal, Gary Suarez chatted with Suicide Silence’s Mark Heylmun, and Sergeant D. chatted with Bleeding Through’s Brandan Schieppati and All Out War’s Mike Score.
• Satan Rosenbloom checked out the latest release from Knights of the Abyss, and Urbandale Grimes checked out the latest release from Valient Thorr.
• We considered the world’s youngest deathcore band.
• We laughed at Tila Tequila and Tom Green’s unfortunate run-ins with Juggalos.
• We actually almost dug the new All that Remains song.
• You’ve got ’til Sunday at midnight to vote for which reader should get to take over MetalSucks next Friday!!!

Alright, now who wants to come see Pirhana 3D with me???
